According to Reuters, Japan’s biggest city gas supplier, Tokyo Gas Co., will not accept new contracts for long-term purchases of LNG that contain clauses restricting where the gas can be sold.

Hirose’s comments follow the decision by Japan’s Fair Trade Commission that the so-called destination clauses that restrict the resale of LNG cargoes are anti-competitive. Since the ruling, Japan’s gas importers have been pushing to either revise their contracts or have vowed not to sign new contracts containing the clauses.
